Introduction

[Here are some basic informations about the novel, other info's would be spotted along the line]

♤ Emberlight ♤

A mysterious light said to guide the Cinders on their path. Most believe it comes from the Greater Will, a divine force that controls fate.

When Emberlight shines, it shows the way forward.

When it fades, you're truly on your own.

♤Grace♤

A light once worshipped by the Flame Orders.

It gave direction. Purpose. Brought the dead back, whole, remembered, clean.

It chose champions. Marked them. Blessed their journey.

But that was before the Shattering. Before the world forgot what whole meant.

♤ Flame Keeper ♤

Every Cinder needs a Flame Keeper to help them level up and guide their journey.

Without one, you're considered alone, weaker, and with no real direction.

Without a Flame Keeper, Cinders usually don't survive long.

♤ Remnants ♤

Leftover spiritual residues from the dead, Cinders, beasts, demigods.

Remnants hold memory, power, and emotion.

Some can absorb it.

But too much Remnants... and you might forget who you really are.

♤ Cinders ♤

Undead warriors summoned back to the Witherlands.

They were exiled long ago but called back for one purpose: to become the Scorched King.

But most Cinders don't even make it past the first checkpoint.

♤ Throne bound Sigil ♤

Not just a ring, it's the source of order in the world.

It was shattered long ago, and its pieces, Great Runes are now held by twisted demigods.

Rebuilding it means power.

Becoming the Scorched King means rewriting the rules of reality.

♤ Cindershrines ♤

Safe spots across the world where Cinders can rest, recover, and fast travel.

If you can find one, you're safe... for now.

♤ The Witherlands ♤

The main world where everything happens.

It's broken, filled with ruins, monsters, and mad gods.

Once beautiful, now full of rot, Remnants, and war.

♤ The Rootspire ♤

A massive glowing tree visible from anywhere in the Witherlands.

It used to represent life and blessing.

Now? It's corrupted.

And its roots are filled with secrets the gods tried to bury.

♤ The Awakened Cinder ♤

The player, who wasn't supposed to be here.

He woke up in a dying world, in the body of a forgotten character.

No Emberlight, no Flame Keeper... just a cursed Hollow brand and the will to survive.

♤ Demigods ♤

Children of Queen Marika, each holding a shard of the Throne bound.

Twisted, mad, or monstrous… none of them are sane.

To move forward, He'll have to take them down. One by one.

♤ The Scorching Pyre ♤

A chaotic force of madness and fire.

It wants to burn everything gods, Emberlight,rot , all of it.

Those who follow it lose their minds, but gain power that defies logic.

♤ Crimson Blight ♤

A living plague that devours flesh, land, and sanity.

It spreads through the body like a curse, unstoppable and cruel.

Some worship it. Most fear it.

Once it touches you, it never really lets go.

♤ The Hollow brand ♤

A cursed mark carved into the body of the Awakened Cinder.

It lets him absorb Remnants and unlock strange abilities.

But each time it activates, it chips away at his memories and his humanity.

♤ Relics ♤

Ancient items left behind by dead heroes and broken gods.

They hold fragments of forgotten power.

Some bind to the soul.

Others... consume it.

♤Weapon Classes♤

Remnant Fang: Weapons forged in Remnants. They adapt, evolve.

Runemarked: Carved with ancient glyphs. Channel the wielder's will.

Emberlight Arms: Holy weapons of the old orders. Deadly, but cursed.

Forgotten Steel: Relics from before the Sigil broke. Brutal, unrefined, real.

[Some of the monsters you'll meet... if you're unlucky.]

♤ Blight Spawn ♤

Creatures tainted by the Crimson Blight.

Their bodies decay, but they never die.

They spread rot with every step, turning the land sick.

Kill them fast or they'll make you one of them.

♤Hollowborn♤

Souls who forgot who they were.

Their minds snapped. Their bodies followed.

They wander in loops, driven by whispers no one else hears.

Sad… until they're clawing at your throat.

♤ Remnant Wraiths ♤

Monsters born from consumed Remnants.

Each one is unique and twisted with madness.

They devour what's left of dead Cinders to grow stronger.

Some still remember their old names.

♤ Frenzied Kin ♤

Marked by golden eyes and warped smiles.

They laugh when they bleed.

Their screams echo in your skull long after they're gone.

Never fight them head-on. They want that.

♤ Gravemares ♤

Beasts that crawl from forgotten graves.

They hunt in silence, guided by old, buried hunger.

Their bodies are made of bones, roots, and grief.

You hardly hear them coming, and if you do, run.

♤ Rootbound Sentinels ♤

Creatures bound to the Rootspire's corrupted roots.

Guardians of nothing. Still loyal to a god that abandoned them.

They sprout vines from their flesh and wield light like fire.

Emberlight still runs in their veins but it burns now.

♤Dreamborn Horrors♤

Monsters from dreams… or maybe from your guilt.

They appear at night, shaped by your fears.

Some say if you kill one, you forget why it ever hunted you.

Others say you become it.

[If you're lucky, you'll die before you meet them. If no, hope you remembered how to run.]

Just a heads-up, this is a slow-burn story. Things won't explode right from the start, but the buildup is worth it. The world is entirely fictional, not Earth, so some real-world logic might not always apply. I hope you'll stick around and enjoy the ride! Feel free to drop a comment or review, I'll be reading and replying whenever I can.

[That's all for now.

Good luck. And whatever you do, don't die permanently haha. Happy reading!!]
